Your Guests Will Want Another Round of These Cocktails This Memorial Day

Depending on your outlook on life, Memorial Day weekend begins either tomorrow morning as soon as you awaken, or this evening the second that your work shift ends. Wherever you land on that issue, it’s a prime opportunity to enjoy some good food and drink as we take some time to reflect on the sacrifices made by our men and women in the armed forces. As you’re raising a glass this holiday weekend, consider filling it with one of these refreshing cocktails tailor-made for outdoor enjoyment on a warm day with hot food coming off a grill someplace nearby.

Add raspberry ice cubes, lemon juice and simple syrup to pint glass or beer mug. Top with Sapporo and gently stir with a bar spoon.

*Add 1 cup of water and 1 cup of fresh raspberries to a pot of water and bring to a boil. Once water begins to boil, turn heat to a simmer and let steep 15-20 minutes or until raspberries begin to lose their color. Strain the raspberries and fill ice cube tray with flavored water. Freeze until solid.
